I am experiencing low hot water pressure in my home. The cold water pressure is fine, but the hot water is low.. Could it be the hot water heater:confused: ?

No! Hot water tanks just heat the water, a new water heater will not add pressure to your system and the only way they can cut pressure back is if they're clogged at the out let. In over 50 years I've never seen this happen.
Do you have low pressure at just one faucet or on all of them? How old is your house and what material are the pipes made of? Did this come on gradually or all of a sudden? Do you flush your heater out on a regular monthly maintenance schedule? When was the last time you flushed your heater? Get back to me. Regards, Tom
